Rosetta — "RFD FOX" - . .,04w 1 ki. " 4 . c , i ,„ „ 4 k .. „ 1 I IA Illiii - 4 i , l row, Bronze 21" x 35" x 12.5" Edition of 12 Needs pedestal $15,000 Although drawn to modeling in clay at a very young age, Rosetta's formal art training was in commercial art, culminating at the Art Center College of Desigr in Los Angeles. Once established in a successful graphic design career, the urge to pursue her love of creating in three dimensions resurfaced and now she is sculpting full- 1.ime. Her subjects are animals, another childhood passion. Stuffed animals took the place of dolls, and recurring nightmares of being stalked by big cats evolved into wonder - filled dreams of friendly encounters with them. Admiration and respect for the grace, power, and nobility of the wild ones is evident in Rosetta's sculptures, which capture their spirit, form, and movement in a unique hard -edged yet fluid style. Rosetta has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally; has completed corporate, public and private commissions; and has received numerous awards for her work. "I don't consider creating sculpture to be part of my job. Whether it was carving animals out of soap as a child, trying to capture the personality of my fiancee in a clay portrait while still at art school, or carving building scraps into decorative elements for the house my husband and I designed and built in a Redwood forest, sculpt.rre has always been something I have done for the pure joy of it. "Red Fox Maquette" won the People's Choice Award for sculpture at the 2005 Western Rendezvous of Art in Helena, MT.
